the client experience
client profile The Wilson 5 Foundation on a Legacy of Philanthropy and Conservation The Wilson 5 Foundation, established by Chip and Summer Wilson, founder of lululemon athletica, reflects their family’s commitment to meaningful philanthropy. Named after their five sons, the foundation was created to ensure that each son had a voice in shaping its direction. Together, the Wilson family has embraced a mission focused on conservation and education, combining their passion for nature with their leadership expertise to build a legacy. To support their vision, the Wilsons partnered with Cambridge Associates to manage the foundation’s $500 million portfolio. This partnership has enabled them to balance portfolio growth with sufficient liquidity to fund large donations, including their historic CAD $100 million donation to the BC Parks Foundation’s 25x25 initiative. This landmark gift—the largest in Canadian history—aims to protect 25% of British Columbia’s land, highlighting the Wilsons’ commitment to conservation and their desire to drive lasting change.
